Carrie (2013)

Yep, another horror remake. Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett are shortlisted for the lead, with Jodie Foster or Julianne Moore possible targets for Piper Laurie's role.

Original is fantastic, so they need do something special here.

This is the third version and the second was out not too long ago, right?  I like Jodie Foster so I hope she doesn't go near this unneeded 3rd version.

Unneeded indeed.

Chloe Moretz must be careful not to get typecast in horror remakes..

And again, my immediate thought as with Hugo is that she's good, but this is the wrong part for her. They seem to keep trying to make roles fit her rather than the other way around...

[samuelrichardscott]

True about Moretz. She shows promise but needs to be more careful in selecting a wider variety of roles. Still, if they can get Moore or Foster that would make me feel better about this.

Chloe Moretz has announced she has got the part.
